Ok so firstly I know that it was World Book Day two weeks ago therefore this post will for sure not be helpful until maybe next year when people much more organised than me start to plan these things! (Side note, I did used to be one of those super organised people, no judgement there…maybe just a little envy!) In my defence though it was postponed due to the snow and I have seen so many posts shared across the last two weeks that it almost makes it feel ok.
When I thought about writing this months update I really wasn’t sure what I would say. The girls are in a really wonderful stage at the moment where they adore each other (give or take a shove or two, and shouts of “she’s doing this” (insert moaning voice) every 5 seconds when you just want to go for a wee or cook dinner) they are just in this really natural rhythm where they are drawn to each other for everything, for play, for comfort, to show off the latest thing that have learnt to do or seen. And it is wonderful. I never want to come across as smug or perfect as of course life isn’t like that at all and parenting siblings always has it’s moments but there is definitely a joy hanging around their relationship right now and I want to celebrate that. The epitome of this was just tonight at bedtime.
February has felt long and short all in one go. This post feels like it is being written in the middle of the month despite having just a few days to go until the turn of the calendar, yet it also seems like we have fit so much in too. We have spent an increasing amount of time outside, I have had my camera in hand loads more and I am even daring to dream of spring! Although the forecast for this week is looking very unlikely and we might slip back into hibernation mode pretty quickly!
